I think back to my childhood, and how happy I was, my values were clear, I liked myself, I had more energy, things seemed right.....

I then try to understand why I was so much happier than, so much at peace with myself. I think it is because I was in the country, with my family, just a better person in general.

But in fact...

i think you are on the right path about the country. i grew up in SoCal and it was always a rat race. now i live in a part of the world that the internet age forgot (my road was paved 2 years ago). and i enjoy my life alot more. it's simply more peaceful. and bosses are always like that. i'm at a point where i'm ready to take a pipe bomb to my plant because of the retarded corporate bullshit that they do. the only thing that keeps me there is the fact that the product that we produce, is helping to save the world (in a small way).

and yes, karma is that way.....i relish in the outcomes sometimes though.

I miss being a kid. No bills, no job, not worried about relationships (or my lack of them).
All I wanted to do was catch snakes and read comics.

Siiiiigggghhhhh....

So another need of advice from y'all.

How do you seperate yourself from work? how do you not take things personally? I mean for every good manager there are 5 suck ass ones. So, you really have to just leave work at work and say fuck 'em. If they don't like it they can fire me. How do you completely let go?

One way is to look for a new job. If you're not happy at work, and it's affecting your life outside, it's time to move on. I've been there before. I have horror stories about ex-bosses. I'm perfectly happy with my job now, and it's had a much better impact on my life as a whole.

Take breaks during the day at work. Go outside, to take you mind off of things. Stewing at your desk, just makes the day worse.

Talk it out with your boss, however if this was possible, I'm sure you've already tried. There's the saying that it's only when you risk everything you have to lose, can you really gain anything.

Keep your head up, it's the weekend. smile

I don't want to be mad at my boss anymore. I wish there was a pill that would just let you let go of anger. Made you get over things.

I am horrible at letting go of things..........just ask anti_duff........I am the classic evil chick that remembers everything and never drops it.

I hate it.

Any suggestions on how to let go of anger, grudges,...

getting fucked up with friends helps sometimes. or doing something physically exhausting
connielingus:
I actually had a similar idea, but it DID involve finishing the act. Once finished, I was going to turn to him and growl, "Now get the fuck outta my house and don't ever talk to me again!"

But alas, he's not the only one who's done things wrong. I put a serious hurting on him, and once we FINALLY were able to admit to each other how hurt we are for this or that it really settled into my brain.

Thanks for helpin me stay strong, this is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life - letting him go.

You still have Monday off, though, right? Not getting away when you want to sucks, but I'm sure you'll make the most of it. You seem to have a knack for finding the positive in disappointments.
9005900:
I haven't had a ban, although, I've been booted out of certain groups. I guess sometimes being too vocal hurts!!!

Wanna get away too? Me too, and I just got back from my trip! kiss

I feel like that, too, sometimes.

Just remember my motto:

You're not there to make friends, you're there to pay the bills.

Cheer up, buttercup. smile

I am content, but I am pissy today.

I got a fucking letter from the co-op board. They are such fucking cunts. This is why I would NEVER, EVER fucking ever buy anything here.

No fucking airconditioners in the window, nothing in the garage, if you do have a deck you can't put shit on it. Yet they do nothing when we keep getting broken...

Wow, that sucks. (Yeah, where does the AC go then?) I don't know if this is true for you, but the co-op board at my folks' place is a bunch of retirees with no sense of purpose anymore but to intrude in people's lives. I would be sad for them if they weren't such horrible people.

thanks for the encouragement.

Lets get lipo together!!!
blaupunkt666:
I used to hate my body. I'm still working on it. It's been a long journey. I spent a lot of energy in the wrong places before I realized how important it was to deal with the basics- how it affects my overall quality of life. You can tweak yourself any which way you choose. A good friend of mine binges/starves her way through life. +30 pounds, -30 pounds, like the seasons. It's one method but it does take a toll on overall health. Of course there are healthier ways to do it. The method you decide on is not only technical but also spiritual. If you don't identify with being beautiful as something inherent, then you'll treat it like a possession you can buy or lose. It's not to say that lipo is forbidden. I'm all for body mods. But if lipo is the only method, that choice might have similar consequences to starving/binging.

Is it wrong to look forward to just getting wasted, to lok forward to a weekend out.
I just want to let go. I have been so controlled this week.
Sigh..........
I hope that is okay.

So, it is anti_duff's and my 1 year anniversary this weekend - easy to remember since it is the tattoo convention. And it is SG that brought us together....

What's not to like about riding a motorcycle?!?! I've been doing it for 32 years and I can honestly say that it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

And when you say "ride" a motorcycle, do you mean that you piloted one, or just passengered? If it's the latter, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Rider Training Course and learn how to ride, then go get yourself a used small-medium motorcycle and start racking up the miles!

The world looks a lot different from two wheels...
